After 18+ years as a Linux users, with countless distros set up I’ve had my first ever installation just.. fail..? 🤷

Confession time:
I’m currently playing my first Mario game ever… Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope 😄
For a game that’s likely made for 10-year olds, it’s been such a casual, laid back treat.

In ironic news, I saw a recommendation on HN for “There Is No Antimemetics Division” by qntm.

Ok let’s see this time: Citizen Sleeper.
It doesn’t exactly scratch that Disco Elysium itch yet, but nice setting and so far, good writing. Also good to play in short bursts.
